What's going on at a senior level that means that white men are being discriminated against the Metropolitan Police
0:05
and a special constable is arrested because they didn't even understand the tweet he'd put up
0:12
A brief history of policing, if I may. All right. Around about 1997, a certain politician by the name of Blair said, education, education, education
0:22
An ambitious police officer thought, we'll have a piece of this. And off they went to university, often out of the public purse that paid for it
0:32
And they came back, many of them, into policing with a feeling that they were part of academia
0:38
And of course, this has perpetuated through the subsequent generations of police leaders
0:43
And in their intellectual snobbery, they've got to the point where they want so many of the frontline officers to get degrees or have policing degrees as part of that recruitment process
0:55
So policing really has moved away dramatically from the blue collar occupation that it was where police patrolled the streets, prevented crime and invested, investigated crime when it occurred
1:09
This ideology which has been picked up and indoctrinated into policing generations of it now is so hugely damaging that they taking it upon themselves to patrol free speech rather than patrol the streets And we are getting catastrophic situation time and time again
1:30
But are the chief constables not in control of their forces or do they actually want to
1:35
do this? Because every time there's a story like this, the chief constable of Kent's had to apologise
1:40
The chief constable of Essex looked particularly silly recently. Only the chief constable of Greater Manchester is getting any plaudits for the way he's carrying
1:48
on his force. Are they going along with this? Are they giving a lack of leadership or are
1:53
they just incompetent? They're leading it and they're incompetent. And so many of them got away from the rough
1:59
and tumble of frontline policing as soon as they possibly could because rolling around
2:04
on the pavement with robbers, burglars, car thieves and the such like was way beneath them
2:09
They prefer the comfort of their leather topped desks and their vast offices. And so consequently
2:15
the disconnect between senior police and the front line has grown. And there is a language that the ambitious cops have to speak now
2:24
if they want to climb that greasy pole of promotion. And so dissenting voices, of which there should be some
2:31
experienced cops getting these situations are going, there is no crime committed here
2:37
What on earth are we doing getting involved in it? And until voices like that are going to be heard
2:43
then these kind of ridiculous situations are merely going to happen again and again
